1.1 Overview of microbial community composition

Figure 1 is an interactive figure showing the microbial community composition in each collected sample. Here, each color and shade corresponds to a different genus. For reference, domestic dogs (Canis familiaris) and gray wolves (Canis lupus) are different species that belong to the same genus (Canis).

You can interact with this figure by:

  • Hovering the cursor over a color in the stacked bar to see the taxonomic identity, sample type, and relative abundance corresponding to that color and bar
  • Clicking and dragging the cursor over a portion of the figure to zoom
  • Single-clicking a genus’s name in the legend to remove that genus from the figure
  • Double-clicking (very quickly) a genus’s name in the legend to only show that genus

Figure 1: Microbial community composition of collected saliva and stool samples. Taxonomic composition is reported at the genus rank. Genera present at <1% relative abundance across all samples are reported as “Other genera”. Note: Blue = Firmicutes; Yellow = Actinomycetes; Green = Bacteroidetes; Red = Proteobacteria; Purple = all other phyla. Shades of the same color (except purple) correspond to different genera from the same phylum.



1.2 High-resolution snapshot of community composition

Figure 2 is an interactive figure showing the microbial community composition at higher taxononomic resolution. Here, each row corresponds to a unique microbe.

You can interact with this figure by:

  • Hovering the cursor over a cell to see that microbe’s genus and species (and strain when available), relative abundance, and full taxonomic classification
  • Clicking and dragging the cursor over a portion of the figure to zoom



Figure 2: Heat map showing relative abundance of microbes in each sample (N = 71 total identified). Each row corresponds to a unique microbe and each column corresponds to an individual sample. Note the relative abundance colorscale is in log units.



1.3 Notable microbes detected

  • Streptococcus pneumoniae:
    • A known cause of pneumonia by inducing inflammation upon colonization of the lungs (reviewed in Loughran et al., 2019)
    • Composed ~11% of microbial community in analyzed saliva sample
